Structure Of Atom Question 8

Question 8 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)

The correct set of four quantum numbers for the valence electron of rubidium atom $(Z=37)$ is:

(1) $5,0,0,+\frac{1}{2}$

(2) $5,0,1,+\frac{1}{2}$

(3) $5,1,0,+\frac{1}{2}$

(4) $5,1,1,+\frac{1}{2}$

Show Answer

Answer (1)

Solution

$\mathrm{Rb}=[\mathrm{Kr}] 5 \mathrm{~s}^{1}$

$\mathrm{n}=5$

$l=0$

$\mathrm{m}=0$

$\mathrm{s}=+1 / 2$ or $-1 / 2$
